ESAOTE S.P.A. is recalling 5 units of the Esaote Endocavity ultrasonic probe, Model E 3-12, because a manufacturing defect in a specific batch may cause liquid to leak from the casing near the cable. This weakness in the probe body can allow fluids to enter the device during use or cleaning. Consumers and healthcare facilities in North Carolina and Texas should immediately identify if they have the affected serial numbers and contact the manufacturer to arrange for a return or replacement.
The compromised casing allows liquid to leak into the terminal part of the probe body, which could lead to device failure, electrical shorting, or cross-contamination between patients if the probe cannot be properly disinfected.
